1. The VFW and "American" Legion are tools of the political right wing.
 That is all they have ever been and all they will ever be.

A service member would have to be delusional not to run to liberals for support and affirmation.

2. How courageous of them
 I'm amused by these people who think that the NRA and VFW should just be functioning arms of the Republican Party, even when the Democrat in office is voting in accordance with what the group favors 90-100% of the time.

Yeah, well, that's not Babs.

Ummm,,........ they sure as hell get a lot more respect from the right than they do from the left. Ever think of that you stupid DUmmie?!? Case in point, ever see how those pieces of garbage left the war memorial in Washington during their socialist/commie rally?!?! That helps prove my point.

Oh really, you little ****-wad?  Do you even know what "VFW" stands for?  Veterans of Foreign Wars, which is a hell of lot more worthy of my respect than you jag-offs posting anonymous garbage on your commie message board.

[NHSparky]

Again, incorrect, DUmmies.  If a Democrat has stood up for veterans and TRULY cared about their well being, rather than dress down flag officers (Babs Boxer), say that the surge is a failure (Harry Reid), etc., etc., and endorse candidates who have NEVER served, NEVER supported the military over REAL veterans (think Lt. Col. West), the rank and file is going to create a shitstorm the likes of which you'll not see very often.

I can think of a number of Democrats who would richly deserve VFW PAC endorsement.  Sadly, damn few of them are serving members of Congress--only former members, such as Senators Sam Nunn and Zell Miller, for a couple of examples.

The rescinding is great news!  Those 2 quotes above are the only participants in the campfire.  Wonder if bugman will come in and excrete his usual shit about servicemen?

That isn't what your mother said, you effeminate halfwit.

Yeah, she probly elected to have sex with a "real" dick, not one of those plastic wannabe's, like one of their candidates prefers!!

[DumbAss Tanker]

What?!?!  This comes as a complete revelation to me!  How can true vets disdain these honored guardians of our precious freedoms, speaking truth to power, nay, spitting in its eye, as they do?  An outrage, I tell you!  Such ingrates!

 

[Airwolf]

This coming from the same groups that support lairs and traitors to their country claiming to be honorable service men. If it wasn't so sad it might be worth a giggle. You ****ing shitstains over at DU have done nothing but call military members baby killers ,racist,bigots,rapist and stupid for years. Pop quiz hotshots, How many of you working the fry maching or working in your cubicle processing checks for welfare leeches have to know what the average Soldier does about his job? I'm betting that your not able to perform an average of 25- 36 task and do so on demand,maintain all equipment issued to you plus what is in the units TOE and additional duties as assigned to you by your leaders.

I highly doubt that the average civilian has to tear apart his workstation or his computer, Fix or repear their own car or have to know how to use units of measurement that would make most of you cry in your lattes. Then I have some doubts that you clowns could put up with the early morning exercises for at least two hours a day. Yeah some of you clowns can run a few miles but do the same with a 35 pound ruck. Just to earn my Air Assault badge, my final day was a 12 mile hike to be done in less then two hours and twenty minutes. None of you DUmmies would have the balls to attempt that let alone serve. Before that first day out of the "The Hardest Days in the Army", I had to learn to build and set up and LZ/PZ. Learn formations The Army uses for multiple Helicopter flights so the LZ/PZ could be set up right. Learn to do Medivac request and Sling load various pieces of equipment the Army uses from cargo bags to Artillery pieces. Then I had to learn to rappel from thetop of a 90 ft tower and from a UH-60 Blackhawk.


You miserable little assclowns couldn't cut it being the post laundry handlers and you have the gall to bitch about what some VFW post is going to do with their money. Most of those guy have been through more shit then any human should be put through .They have the right to spend their money how they wish. You want to donate to a slimebag like Babs Boxer and her campain ,go ahead . I personally hope she loses and does so in a big way.this country has enough treasonous bastards sucking off at the well as it is.

[AllosaursRus]

I doubt many of the DUmmies could complete a game of "hop scotch"! A 12 mile hike? What a laugh!

Hell, I'm 56 and as early as 2 years ago I could pack a 1/4 of an elk out of 300 ft deep canyon!

Those pussies would have to be medi vacced!

[franksolich]

Damn, you're good, sir.

Admirable.

BINGO!!! Awesome Airwolf.

Its nothing that alot of others have not done before frank. I just happened to be one of them. Add to it that my Air Assault school was in January when it started and finished in the first week of February in Kentucky made for some fun days. Its not as cold there as it gets here in Iowa/Nebraska but after you have spent most of your day working your ass off and then comes a 2-4 mile run or you have to spend the evening learning to do sling loading operations at night it can get real cold very quickly when the rotor wash from a CH-47 adds to the wind chill. The one thing I will admit to though for being good at was when I went to the Ft. Campbell Sniper School. I had the best people to learn from there. The head instructor .Mr White. was a two tour Vietnam Special Forces Vet  and  all 15 of us passed the class. . Not that this was like the official school run by the Army but It was just as long and the things we learned made us much better soldiers

5. Such Crap
 So they were for them before they were against them. I hate flip-floppers

Can a DUmbass create an irony so heavy even he couldn't lift it?

More like they were never for them the PAC made the decision on its own against the wishes of the membership.

Airwolf, this next one is for you:

Was listenin' to Laura Ingrahm this mornin' and she had an officer from the VFW on. Sounds like they're plenty pissed and will vote in August to dissolve the PAC!

Interesting. I hope the sissy, bed wetting bitch has a good dental plan.

[delilahmused]

I don't know, I think they'd be happy with the VFW right now (well the national org's pac) since they're endorsing Allen West's opponent, along with Barbara Boxer, Alcee Hastings and other left wing haters. Band of Mothers sent out an email but you can read about it at Blackfive too.

Considering you spent your adolescence jerking off to the memory of that time you walked in on your sister in the shower, you might wanna think about casting aspersions on the men and women who made those pathetic little episodes possible, you repugnant little shit.

[NHSparky]

See, assholes, what you once again fail to understand is that the PAC does NOT reflect the membership.  And when asked to bend to the will of the vast majority of members, they (again) told the National Commander to go pound sand.

THAT'S why we're not real happy with the PAC right now.  If the endorsements in question were made to people who actually SUPPORTED the military, regardless of party, I don't think you'd hear the shitstorm you do now.

[JohnnyReb]

Y'all shouldn't be so hard on liberals....they come in handy sometimes. When you run out of toilet paper you can wipe your butt on 'em.

I dunno, the general idea of asswipe is that you're supposed to be cleaner after using it.

You aren't supposed to use the lowly DUmmies...just their leaders. ....and then finish off the job with a white corn cob.

Spark, do you know if the PAC has some veterans among its main decision makers? Or are we talking about people (the PAC people) who were always civilians?
